Busted Motor

[dynotune]

good explanation mikey. It's a big time saver when you can pull the crank out without taking the main caps off!!!
We'll take pics of yours when it happens, too!

That must be the new modular 2-piece block.....

A little JB weld will fix that right up...

[Turbo5Oh]

if i could brake a motor that bad i think id make a sweet necklace out of it, or possibly a belt buckle

[94NDTA]

I would make a garage lamp of garage table out of it.

That motor is sweet! Mike, did you really just make that big long post all by yourself? I like this part of it "they make all kinds of different girldles but they just delay the inevitable." LOL. Aren't those words sort of big for you? I'm j/k man!

LOL. I think he might have copied and pasted part of that... That would be like Nova writing a properly spelt word. Heh, sorry Nova, had to say it.

That sucks that those little mustang heads get soo mad at each other that they have to try and split the block apart. Just think, a mustang at 500hp is only 1.66hp/CI while my car was about 4.51hp/CI I know, I know..we have already talked about this. It is fun to think about though.

Anyways, cool pics!

I use a stock block 306, it makes 640 rwhp, and no cracks, it's all in the tune up. Aem all the way.

[91nbtsi]

Not up to par on my Ford motor specs, what is a 306? As you say, tuning has a lot to do with engine failure. I had AEM on my talon, and I loved it. You can blow your engine up with a push of a button, or make it run beautifully with a push of a button:) I don't think I would run a stock ECU again on a car after having all the control in my hands with the AEM.

Nate, a 306 is a .030 over 302(5.0).

2wheeler under tintmasters account.

So does crack.

I don't think bad tuning tore the engine apart. I do believe that how the engine was anchored most likely contributed to the self destruction. I (believe) it would never have happened if there was a front or rear motor plate used.

that sucks, but its a ford

[eatinup_pony_racer]

thats pretty crazy!

[Pony_Racer]

hmmmmm......i'll try and stay away from that happening in the future i think....yeah
So how exactly did that happen....any details?

[My NOva]
